Synopsis
The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Description
According to its self-identified version number, the phpMyAdmin install hosted on the remote web server is 3.x later than 3.3.1 or 4.x prior to 4.1.7. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the 'import.php' script does not properly sanitize the filenames of imported files.Solution
Either upgrade to phpMyAdmin 4.1.7 or later, or apply the patch from the referenced link.See Also
